Discoveries! Gathering data is boring. Making discoveries is fun. Every time you take a reading there should be random chance that you “made a Discovery,†a popup with a joke, some little bit of funny Kerbal science, and a bunch of science points. And the discoveries change the game. You get instructions of someplace else to go on the planet, or a different scientific reading to take. (don’t have the right equipment? Then you have reason to come back!) each Biome can have one or two discoveries waiting to be made. You can also get “anomalous readings.†(more common) And enough anomalous reading this add up to a Discovery. There I fixed it, ---- “I believe that we should commit ourselves to the goal, before this week is out, of landing a Kerbal on the Mun and returning him safely to Kerbin.†– John Fitzgerald Kerbedy.
Win 7 64bit here. One of my favorite rockets now totally collapses and blows up on the launch pad. I figure you tweaked the physics model, so I reinforce the rocket , now it doesn’t collapse, but there’s still huge fire on a launch pad, after which the launch pad appears destroyed, but the rocket is unharmed. I hit F3 and it shows no flight events at all. The rocket launches fine. Like I said, looks like a bug. I guess I’ll be turning on “indestructible†KSC mode.
